I've always liked the concept of a Tau Crisis suit army but never quite liked the aesthetic of the Tau Crisis Suit. I have, however, always loved the aesthetics of the Gundam Zaku II suit and decided to try and either convert the current Tau suit to look like a Zaku or find appropriately scaled Gundam figures to use as Crisis Suits...I have recently made a Tau Crisis Suit army made from Gundam Zaku figures and kits!

You can see my blog post with more info/pictures of the genesis/progress of the army here:

I always imagined that Zakus would be better as Imperial Mechs. just the general look of them. Great work no less though!
